The difference between you and anyone is knowledge, don’t be a victim of victimization. How well do you know your spouse? Every man or woman is up for something new in a relationship, there’s a way you can sincerely monitor your partners phone, WhatsApp messages, knowing his/her history of SMS , deleted and hidden emails plus many more. This is the kind of situation that’s destroying peoples lives. Kids and immature adults think it’s fun to do to someone but it’s not . It can seriously destroy an innocent family’s personal and social life. There’re already enough pressure that we have to deal with in general, this kind of stuff is sending us straight to hell and we don’t even seem to acknowledge that as a nation. Liars and criminals are using this to mess up people’s lives each day. Some serious “control measures” need to be put in place to avoid relationship harassment. It may seem funny until you’re on the receiving ends and an extreme abuser is on the other end. There’s a way you can know your partner more contact acehackelord on Gmail or text [phone]

I started from the very basics and I'm loving it. See you in the comments section under next videos ;)

[@lycosa2000]

Amen…. It’s so nice to hear someone mention the issues with gatekeeping. I’ve spent my life in Process Control and happened to get into security in the SCADA environment. I did it on my own without certs just because I was in charge of the processes. I might have been overlooked for my current position if it weren’t for an opportunity to talk with a member of IT security who happened to push my foot in the door. In my experience, I’ll take a guy who’s self-taught with a lot of hands-on experience they can prove over a theory master any day.

[@TheSecurityAgency]

The guy in the orange t-shirt does not read a lot. A quote from the new Christopher Hadnagy's book "Human Hacking" "Social Engineering laid out the basic principles and techniques for hacking humans, so that security professionals could use them to thwart attacks and keep us safe. In retrospect, I’m not proud of this book-it’s pretty weak. But it did help put social engineering on the map. And for me personally, Social Engineering was a turning point.
